🇺🇸 English

On Tuesday, the United Kingdom unequivocally prohibited all commercial engagement with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, concurrently alleging that 'settler terrorists' are perpetrating 'ethnic cleansing' against Palestinians in the regiona move that signals a pronounced and abrupt hardening of Britain's stance toward its longstanding ally.

英国周二明令禁止约旦河西岸被占领的以色列定居点开展任何商贸往来指称定居者恐怖分子正在当地对巴勒斯坦人实施种族清洗”,此举标志着英国对这位长期盟友态度出现了显著而剧烈的强硬转向

France and Canada have in succession proclaimed their intention to implement commensurate measures, aiming to curb the ever-expanding settlements and the escalating violence, lest such developments ultimately consign the vision of Palestinian statehood to oblivion.

法国加拿大相继宣布将采取相应举措意在遏制不断扩张的定居点愈演愈烈的暴力冲突以免此类事态最终致使巴勒斯坦建国之愿景化为泡影

Israel responded with profound indignation, declaring its intention to shutter the British consulate in Jerusalem.

以色列以极度愤慨之姿作出回应并宣称将关闭英国驻耶路撒冷领事馆

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband solemnly proclaimed that the United Kingdom would impose a comprehensive ban on the importation of any goods from the settlements, and would strictly prohibit enterprises from rendering any form of services to the settlements, encompassing domains such as finance, construction, infrastructure, real estate, and advertising.

外交大臣埃德·米利班德郑重宣告英国将彻底禁止从定居点进口任何商品并严令禁止企业为定居点提供任何形式的服务其范围涵盖金融建筑基础设施房地产广告诸领域

Milband asserted: "I find it difficult to believe that the British public would be inclined to lend support to the occupation by purchasing goods produced in the settlements from shops and supermarkets."

米利班德断言:“我难以认同英国民众会倾向于通过购置商店及超市中那些定居点所产商品的方式,来为占领行径提供支持。”

In a joint declaration, British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, French President Emmanuel Macron, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sternly asserted that the expansion of settlements and the violent acts perpetrated by settlers in the West Bank constitute a "direct and imminent threat" to the two-state solution.

英国首相安迪·伯纳姆法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙加拿大总理马克·卡尼在联合声明中严正指出定居点扩张约旦河西岸定居者的暴力行径两国方案构成了直接且迫在眉睫的威胁”。

The three proclaimed their resolute determination to act before it becomes "too late."

三人宣称他们决意赶在为时已晚之前采取行动

The macroeconomic reverberations are apt to prove circumscribed, inasmuch as the settlement yields but a paltry volume of export commodities, predominantly agrarian in character.

Nonetheless, this démarche serves as a symbolic token of disapprobation towards Israel on the part of several of its most intimate allies, whilst concurrently adducing fresh indicia of the Israeli government's escalating diplomatic isolation consequent upon the Gaza hostilities.

Nonetheless, this démarche serves as a symbolic token of disapprobation towards Israel on the part of several of its most intimate allies, whilst concurrently adducing fresh indicia of the Israeli government's escalating diplomatic isolation consequent upon the Gaza hostilities.

Miliband candidly acknowledged that he harbors an ineffable sense of shame over the tribulations visited upon Palestine under the unblinking gaze of the international community.

米利班德坦言巴勒斯坦在国际社会众目睽睽之下所蒙受的苦难感到一种难以名状的羞愧。”

He solemnly declared, "We shall never acquiesce to the complete dissolution of the two-state solution."

郑重宣告:“我们绝不会默许两国方案的彻底瓦解。”

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar vehemently condemned such despicable conduct, declaring that he would expel the British representative from the Joint Military Committee tasked with overseeing the ceasefire in Gaza, while simultaneously terminating the United Kingdom's training programme for the Palestinian Authority's security forces in the West Bank.

以色列外交部长吉迪恩·萨尔对此等卑劣行径予以强烈谴责并宣称将驱逐联合军事委员会中负责监督加沙停火事宜的英国代表同时终止英国对约旦河西岸巴勒斯坦权力机构安全部队的训练项目

Furthermore, Israel has barred entry to over a dozen British parliamentarians and other UK nationals whom Sa'ar identified as being involved in anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli activities.

此外以色列还禁止十余名英国议员及其他被萨尔指认参与反犹太及反以色列活动英国公民入境。

Under the ultranationalist administration helmed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, settlement construction in the West Bankterritory seized by Israel during the 1967 Middle East warhas undergone a precipitous expansion.

在以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡所领导的极端民族主义政权之下约旦河西岸——这片于1967年中东战争期间被以色列所占领的领土——上的定居点建设呈现出急剧膨胀之势

The Netanyahu government venerates the West Bank as the ancestral patrimony to which Jews are entitled by biblical decree and historical precedent, and on these grounds it adamantly repudiates the establishment of a Palestinian state.

内塔尼亚胡政府将约旦河西岸奉为犹太人据《圣经》记载及历史渊源所应承袭的祖地并以此为由坚决反对巴勒斯坦国的建立

The international community overwhelmingly deems such construction activities to be unlawful.

国际社会压倒性地认定此类建设活动非法之举

The United Kingdom and other nations are particularly concerned about the E1 settlement project, which Israel has approved, as it would effectively sever the territorial contiguity of the region.

英国及其他国家尤为关切以色列所批准的E1定居点项目该项目实质上割裂该领土的完整性

The violent acts perpetrated by settlers against Palestinians, their forcible evictions, Israeli military operations, and the establishment of checkpoints curtailing freedom of movement, compounded by Palestinian attacks targeting Israelis, have all evinced a markedly escalating trajectory.

定居者对巴勒斯坦人的暴力行径、驱逐行为、以色列的军事行动及限制行动自由的检查站设置,加之巴勒斯坦方面针对以色列人的袭击,均呈现出显著加剧的态势。

Miliband asserted: "The British government concurs that Palestinian communities in parts of the West Bank are enduring ethnic cleansing perpetrated through acts of settler terrorism."

米利班德宣称:“英国政府认同约旦河西岸部分地区巴勒斯坦民众正遭受定居者恐怖主义行径所实施的种族清洗。”

He further elaborated, "Bulldozers have razed homes to the ground, roads and public infrastructure lie in ruins, and countless families have been compelled to abandon their hearths and homes, left to wander in displacement."

进一步指出,“推土机夷平了民居道路公共基础设施毁于一旦无数家庭被迫背井离乡流离失所。”

Miliband elucidated that the trade embargo would formally take effect within a temporal span of six to nine months.

米利班德阐明贸易禁令在六至九个月的时间跨度内正式生效

He further expounded that Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden have solemnly pledged to spare no effort in "supporting the pursuit of further measures."

进一步详述丹麦芬兰冰岛波兰葡萄牙瑞典已郑重承诺将不遗余力地支持采取进一步行动”。

He observed that the Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Spain, and Norway have either already enacted prohibitions or are presently in the throes of instituting bans on the importation of settlement products.

Miliband has further tightened the embargo on arms sales to Israel for use in Gaza, extending its remit to encompass weaponry that "materially facilitates the occupation of Palestinian territories."

米利班德进一步收紧了针对以色列对加沙武器销售的禁运措施将其适用范围扩展至那些实质上助长对巴勒斯坦领土占领”的军备。

The United Kingdom formally recognised the State of Palestine last year, a move intended to reinvigorate the waning mediation efforts towards a two-state solution, though the efficacy of such a step remains to be vindicated by the passage of time.

英国于去年正式承认巴勒斯坦国此举旨在重振日趋式微的两国方案斡旋努力其成效尚待时间检验

In a fundamental shift of British policy, Miliband articulated on Tuesday that the United Kingdom deems Israel's occupation of the West Bankin and of itself, rather than merely the construction of settlementsto constitute an unlawful act.

随着英国立场的根本性转变米利班德于周二阐明,英国认定以色列对约旦河西岸的占领行径本身——而非仅限于定居点建设——已构成非法之举

This novel stance is likely to strike a profound chord among Labour's broad electorate and its parliamentary cohort, who are strenuously urging the government to impose more stringent sanctions on Israel and to extend a helping hand to the Palestinian populace as a gesture of solidarity.

这一崭新立场,或将在工党广袤选民及议会党团中激起深切共鸣,他们正竭力敦促政府对以色列施加更为严苛的制裁,并向巴勒斯坦民众伸出援手,以示声援。

Nevertheless, certain quarters harbour apprehensions that sanctions might prove counterproductive, inadvertently bolstering Netanyahu's standinga figure presently embroiled in a gruelling contest ahead of the October electionor even precipitating acts of violence directed at the British Jewish community.

然而部分人士忧虑制裁恐将适得其反反而助长内塔尼亚胡的声势——此人正面临十月大选中的一场苦战——甚或诱发针对英国犹太社群的暴力行径

The Chief Rabbi of the United Kingdom, Ephraim Mirvis, denounced this day as "the darkest hour for British Jewry."

英国首席拉比埃弗拉伊姆·米尔维斯将此日斥为“英国犹太人的至暗时刻”。

Tom Tugendhat, the opposition Conservative Party's spokesperson on foreign affairs, remarked that "relegating Israel to pariah status could imperil the sectarian fabric of our nation and potentially precipitate an escalation of antisemitic violence on our streets."

反对党保守党外交事务发言人汤姆·图根达特表示,“将以色列置于贱民境地恐将危及我国国内的宗派分野可能致使街头反犹暴力进一步升级。”

Before Miliband had yet to voice his stance on the matter, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's hardline Minister of Public Security and a leading figure in the settlement movement, had already spoken out, urging Netanyahu to recognise Argentina's sovereignty claim over the Falkland IslandsBritain's overseas territory in the South Atlantic, referred to by Argentina as the Malvinas Islands.

在米利班德尚未就此表态之前以色列强硬派公安部长定居点运动领袖伊塔马尔·本·格维尔已先行发声敦促内塔尼亚胡承认阿根廷对福克兰群岛(即英国在南大西洋的海外领地阿根廷方面称之为马尔维纳斯群岛)的主权主张。

Israeli President Isaac Herzog characterized the ban as tantamount to "a grave miscalculation, a decision destined to be condemned by history.

以色列总统艾萨克·赫尔佐格该禁令无异于严重的误判一项注定被历史唾弃的决定

Under the prevailing circumstances, this act constitutes nothing less than a flagrant trampling of the democratic electoral outcome of a sovereign state."

在当前情势下此举无异于对一个主权国家民主选举结果的粗暴践踏。”

This move has likewise drawn condemnation from Mike Huckabee, the U.S. ambassador to Israel and a longstanding advocate of settlements, who denounced it as "discrimination against Jews" and cautioned that should Britain proceed with sanctions, the United States might face "corresponding consequences or retaliation."

此举招致美国驻以色列大使迈克·哈克比——这位长期定居点拥护者——的谴责斥之为对犹太人的歧视”,并警告称若英国付诸制裁,美国或将面临相应后果或报复”。

Numerous American states have enacted statutes that categorically prohibit entering into contracts or making investments with any enterprise that boycotts Israel or its settlements in the West Bank, provisions designed to bolster economic support for Israel and thereby underscore their geopolitical stance.

美国多个州已颁布法令严禁与任何对以色列及其约旦河西岸定居点实施抵制之企业缔结合同或进行投资此类条款旨在强化对以色列之经济支持以彰显其地缘政治立场

Burnham's office asserted that he had a telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, during which he articulated 'the United Kingdom's commitment to peace and security in the region' as well as his vision for realizing a two-state solution.

伯纳姆办公室宣称于周一与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普通电话并阐明了英国对该地区和平与安全的承诺以及实现两国方案之愿景

As for Trump's response, no information whatsoever has been divulged.

至于特朗普的回应,则未有任何消息透露

Miliband, whose parents arrived in Britain as refugees from Nazi persecution, addressed members of the House of Commons, declaring that he spoke "as a proud British Jew and supporter of Israel."

米利班德的双亲系以纳粹难民之身分抵英向下议院议员陈词自称“以身为自豪的英国犹太人以色列支持者之姿”发言

Miliband declared: "Our disagreement is by no means directed at the people of Israelan indissoluble bond endures between the British and Israeli peoples.

米利班德宣称:“我们的分歧绝非针对以色列人民——英国与以色列人民之间维系着牢不可破的纽带

What we condemn is the conduct of its government."

我们所谴责的乃是其政府之所为。”
